Chart placings edit

There is some criticism about Joel Whitburn's charts. See - here, as well as old revisions of Joel Whitburn Limitless undying love (talk) 19:31, 14 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I'm aware of that - other articles covering singers of the same period tend to make more circumspect references to Whitburn's "chart placings", rather than giving specific tabulated placings as this article does. An explanatory footnote might be in order in this article (also at Ethel Waters). Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:06, 14 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

The song "After you've Gone" is in the wrong year its ment to be 1918 not 1919. 92.7.26.136 (talk) 16:03, 20 May 2016 (UTC)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_You've_Gone_%28song%29Reply

The chart does not indicate when "After You've Gone" was composed (1918), but when it was a hit for Marion Harris (1919). - kosboot (talk) 16:13, 20 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Find a Grave as source edit

You know that Find a Grave is unreliable, but you still want to use it as an external link? Why? Aren't there more reliable sources?

The link provides additional material to that in the article, potentially helpful to readers - it is not used as a source. See WP:FINDAGRAVE-EL. If I wished, I could ask you why you added unreferenced material. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:23, 28 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
